2025 in spaceflight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2025 in spaceflight
Wfirst beauty1 prores 1920x1080.mov .00 00 17 16.still003 crop.jpg
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is planned to be launched in 2025.

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2025.

In 2025, NASA plans to launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which will have a field of view 100 times larger than that of the Hubble Space Telescope.[1]

Russia plans to launch the Spektr-UV (World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet), a space telescope that will be developed by multiple nations.

NASA's NEO Surveyor, scheduled to launch in 2025, is expected to be capable of detecting at least 90% of Near-Earth Objects larger than 140 meters (460 ft), a goal mandated by the US Congress in 2005.[2]

China aims to launch the eXTP X-ray obseravatory.[3]

As of 2021, the mission of the Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter is targeted to end no later than September 2025. NASA has stated that the mission could end sooner depending on potential damage from the system's radiation belts during fly-bys of Europa in 2022, and Io in 2023 and 2024.[4][5]

Orbital launch statistics

By country

For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.
